That is how we intend to accelerate recurring revenue growth and increase revenue per academy and participant from the footprint we have assembled.” A Growing Base for Software, Payments and Training Revenue BJJLink gives academy owners and operators the infrastructure to scale their businesses, unifying membership management, automated billing, payments, class scheduling, attendance and student progression in a single operating platform. By automating core administrative workflows, it equips academies to manage larger student bases more efficiently and dedicate more time to coaching, retention and growth. For MMA.INC, this position within academy operations creates an established channel for software, payment services and training programs.

A single academy relationship can generate recurring software fees, payment transaction revenue and TrainAlta program revenue, giving the Company multiple ways to monetize the network it has built and increase revenue per academy and participant. Student profiles and attendance records also provide a foundation for future paid participant services through XP Passport.
